Why You Need Legal Counsel
A 1999 study examining the public's understanding of and participation in Mecklenburg County courts found that few people understood how the court system works. The Perception Survey found that 32.7 percent of those charged did not understand what occurred in the courtroom. The study found that being represented by an attorney has a positive impact on the outcome of cases.

If you've been charged or investigated for assault, aggravated assault, assault and battery, or domestic abuse, you could be facing felony or misdemeanor charges, depending upon seriousness and intent. Whatever the assault charge, if you are convicted, the consequences can be serious.

At Bush & Powers, our criminal defense team is here to help you. Under the direction of defense attorney Bill Powers, a board-certified criminal law specialist by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, our lawyers have the experience and skill to ensure your rights are protected in North Carolina criminal courts.

Attorney Bill Powers has also been listed in North Carolina SuperLawyers in criminal law, and has been listed in Business North Carolina magazine - Legal Elite. When you need confidence that your legal matter is being handled with care, contact the law firm of Bush & Powers.

Defense, Not Judgment

When people come to our Charlotte law office, they are worried. They've made a mistake or something bad has happened. They need answers and support. Most of all, they need to know that they can overcome this difficulty and move forward with their lives.

At Bush & Powers, we are aggressive, yet caring legal advocates watching out for our clients' best interests in court and in negotiations. Whatever criminal charges you face, you can count on knowledgeable guidance and skillful defense. We have represented clients facing a wide range of criminal charges, including:

  • Simple assault
  • Assault and battery
  • Assault with a weapon
  • Aggravated assault
  • Vehicular assault
  • Domestic assault, violation of restraining orders, harassment and stalking

Our criminal defense attorneys do their homework, reviewing all relevant background information to see what might have contributed to charges of assault or domestic violence. (Divorce or marital problems are often a contributing factor to false charges of domestic violence.) Thorough preparation pays off for our clients.
